— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) November 3, 2014 So here, gathered all in one place, are other platitudes coaches can offer, all filtered through the lens of impeccable Disney analogies:
- “He’s our Ursula. We have to steal back our voice from him. Use it to force some false starts, maybe.”
- “He’s our fox and the hound. His personal associations may ultimately lead to his downfall.”
- “He’s our Rescuers Down Under. There’s really no reason for him to exist.”
- “He’s our Lumiere because he set my curtains on fire.”
- “He’s our Winnie-the-Pooh: he keeps getting stuck in doorways.”
- “He’s our Song of the South. No one will ever see him again, ever.”
- “He’s our Dumbo. His mom is in prison and he’s real sad about it.”
- “He’s our Great Mouse Detective. He crushed a guy to death in a giant clock.”
- “He’s our Woody, he just wants to be played with again.”
- “Alex Smith is like our Old Yeller”
Okay, that’s probably enough.
